What Happened To Everyone Who Became Robin?

5. Dick Grayson

When people think of the Dynamic Duo combo of Batman and Robin, the majority will instantly think of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. Famously, Dick was the first person to take on the mantle of the Caped Crusader’s sidekick back in 1940’s Detective Comics #38.

To this day, Dick Grayson is rightly viewed as one of outright greatest characters in comics. And so much of that is down to Grayson’s time as Robin and his eventual progression to stepping out of Batman’s shadow to become a hero of his own. That hero, of course, would be Nightwing.

In addition to moving to Bludhaven in order to branch out on his under his new Nightwing moniker, Grayson is also one of the few people to have donned the cape ‘n’ cowl as Batman. Following the “death” – as in a totally non-permanent arrangement – of Bruce Wayne during 2008’s Final Crisis, it was Dick who became Batman and took on Damian Wayne as his own Robin.

The subsequent years and DC restarts for Dick Grayson have seen the character became an undercover agent of the Spyral group, and more recently Grayson lost all of his memories and became a taxi driver named Ric.
